The Juvenile Section has 7 old computers running several dozen games and educational software that get almost constant use. We also have many more kids games and software for circulation. (makes the older gamers jealous.)

Teen After School Gaming twice a month. Currently using employee's xbox and PS2 hooked up to projectors in the program room.

A new computer in the YA section loaded with donated and free games.

Games:

For the little ones we have a ton; The Magic School Bus collection, Super Duper Music Looper, and the classic Oregon Trail to mention a few. We even have games En Espaniol.

For the console after school program, no M games, then whatever the players bring in from home. Current big hits include; Tekken Tag, Magic: Battlegrounds, StarWars Battlefront II, (no library investment... yet...)
